Models MO-021 & MO-031
These models are similar in design in many ways to our finest models. We believe that even the standard models must be durable and of the same quality as our finest models. The foot of all models has added a box joint (a soldered tennon receiver) to ensure it fits well. Most other whistles at this level do not have this property.

Additional professional features:
· Pointed (French) cup arms.
· We use the same technique for pillows and mechanisms as for our finest models.
· The same craftsmen make both the finest models and the standard models.

Model: MO-021
Description: Sterling silver mouthpiece; middle piece, foot and flaps in silver-plated nickel silver. The handmade silver mouthpiece makes the tone sound clearer and more "serious" in the same way as a first-class flute.
The number “MO-021” is engraved on the rib of the body.

Model: MO-031
Description: Mouthpiece, middle piece and foot in sterling silver. The flaps are in silver-plated nickel silver.
The sterling silver tube gives the model its wide range in terms of expression and tone, which is characteristic of the silver flute's tone color.
The number "MO-031" is engraved on the rib of the body.


Description: Standard "Y" cup arms, drawn holes.
The use of "Y" cup arms makes the instrument more accessible to a beginner. The sound is open and free. The flute comes with the same nozzle that is standard on our finest model, MO-06.
Model: MO-041 comes with adjustable screws.
Model: MO-042 is supplied without adjustable screws.

Model: MO-05
Description: Pointed (French) cup arms, drawn holes.
Because the holes are pulled out of the body's tubes, it plays very quickly.
Model: MO-051 comes with adjustable screws.
Model: MO-052 is supplied without adjustable screws.

Model: MO-06
Description: Pointed (French) cup arms and joined pitches.
We use a special gold solder (80% gold) which ensures that the joint retains its integrity / integrity / purity / condition (integrity) perfectly without the deterioration associated with old-fashioned solder.
When playing on this model you will feel a bit more resistance than other models, but it has a clearer focus and richer sound. Traditionally, this flute is preferred by flute players playing in symphony orchestras, due to its vortex / spin and projection.

Model: MO-061 comes with adjustable screws
Model: MO-062 delivered without adjustable screws

"Ring Klapper"
The old-fashioned type of pressure fit pad retainers (holders that hold the pads in place by pressure) often become loose when removed to adjust the pads for routine maintenance. Now all Mateki models with "ring flaps" have a new type of container that can be screwed on (they can easily be removed by an authorized technician when the pillows are maintained). These new holders will not become loose over time, so there is no risk of leaks. The outermost of the pillows are held in place evenly (which means they are easy to place) and they remain stable.
Mateki has a large selection of "ring flaps", which are ergonomically built to ensure comfort and to promote the development of contemporary flute techniques.

"Half Offset"
The traditional "offset" flaps mean that the left hand mechanism is much more stable, but they affect the flute's balance and can make the hand position more sloppy. Mateki has solved both problems by designing flaps that are "half offset". The half-offset G-A flaps are independent of the rest of the left-hand flaps, but are located much closer than the old-fashioned "offset" flaps. People with small hands or wrist and tendon problems can easily reach the flaps without overloading their hand. The instrument's balance is similar to that of standard "inline" models and also eliminates overload.

Other benefits:
· A reliable, non-adhesive mechanism that can be used in conjunction with the "split E" mechanism.
· The G-A pitches have an appropriate size and there is less air turbulence than with other traditional semi-offset models, the high E can be played more easily.
· The flute's aesthetic line and figure are more appealing.
"inline" and "half inline"
These mechanisms are simple as in traditional "inline" models (they are located on the same hinge or rod as the additional left-hand flaps). But because this mechanism is devoid of pins, it does not bind, which is normal on other traditional "inline" whistles - even if a "split E" mechanism is used.
"Half inline" G-A flaps are located slightly further ahead than on the standard
